Thank you so much for the reviews!

Peggy47: That's cool! I have like 5 minutes walk to Liseberg where Balder is.

Ok. This chapter became pretty lame but I needed to introduce Alice Levander as well. I'm also looking for a Beta on this story. Please send me a message if you want to help me out with that. )

Alice Levander is a character from a couple of Swedish film about the police Martin Beck. Unfortunately she got written out of the latest (and last) 8 films they made. No one knows why (Not even Malin Birgerson who plays her.) and the character they used instead are really boring… I was really sad because she was my favourite. Anyway, Alice has this "thing" going on with the character Gunvald Larsson and why she now is in Gothenburg is totally my view on what could have made her leave Stockholm.

Disclaimer: I own none of the characters except Olivia and if no one else wants to use Alice, I hope I'm allowed "keeping her alive" by using her…


Sara sat down at the computer and logged into her email account. She had met Alice during the time she worked at the San Francisco crime lab and Alice had been sent there to help investigate when a Swedish business man and his family disappeared.

Alice was a Swedish cop and Sara and she had emailed regularly for about a year, telling each other about their lives and cases they worked. Then Sara had moved to Las Vegas and Alice to Stockholm and they hadn't been able to email each other as much as they had before from that time on.

Alice was one of the first people who knew about her feelings for Grissom. They had come to talk about it, when Alice had mentioned her problems with a guy called Gunvald. How he used to take her out to dinner and get her hopes up, only to have her disappointed when he drove her home and left her at the door.

Last email from Alice had been a very upset one. She had told Sara Gunvald had come to her one night after a hard case and things had just happened between them. She had said he had left her when she slept and when she asked her about it later that day, he had said it had been a mistake. The worst part of it was, that Alice had just found out that she was pregnant and needed to move because she was to scared to tell Gunvald the truth.

Sara thought about Grissom when she read this. It had been before he, as he said Catherine had once told him, pulled his head out of the microscope. Sara had been scared. What if Grissom would do the same thing if anything happened between them?

I wonder if she had the baby. Sara thought as she opened a new email to write to her old friend.

Alice,

Long time, no seen… I'm sorry! It has probably been my fault. I haven't really had the time lately. You know, there are lots of bad people who need my attention. People seem to think there aren't any laws at all here in "Sin City" as you might have guessed.

The reason I write is actually that my boyfriend Gil and I are planning a trip to Sweden, so I was wondering if you could make some suggestions as to what we should see and do (Gil wants to ride the roller coaster Balder) and it would also be nice if you would recommend a nice hotel to stay at.

Love,

Sara

Alice Levander had just put her daughter Olivia to bed as she sank down at her computer to see if she had had any email. As usual Josef had tried to stay in touch. She smiled. She wanted to write back to him. Tell him everything about what had happened. And in a perfect world, she could. But this was far from a perfect world. What if Josef told him if she told Josef?

The other email, made her surprised. It had been a long time since she had heard from Sara Sidle. Olivia and her new work in Gothenburg had kept her busy the last three years.

She smiled as she read what her old friend had to tell her.

Sara,

Don't say it was your fault! It's probably as much mine as it is yours. Work and Olivia keeps me busy all the time.

It sounds great that you are planning a trip to Sweden. It would be nice to see you when you are here. As you might remember I moved away from Stockholm and I am actually living in Gothenburg at the moment. Balder is at the amusement park Liseberg over here and it's pretty close to where Olivia and I live. Why don't the two of you stay with us? We have a spare room so there is no problem at all. I'll be happy to show you around as well if you want. Just tell me when you'll be here.

See you soon,

Alice

Alice smiled as she reread the letter. She had suggested she would come visiting her a long time ago. Even though Alice wasn't really that into roller coasters, she was sure she would enjoy the visit anyway.


Ok. I think I might have a little problem coming up... I didn't think of the fact that it might not be completely realistic if Olivia and Alice had conversations in English with each other... Any suggestions?
